I'd hate this less if I wasn't sure that it was all premeditated before Ozzie quit on the team. The fact that Buehrle accepted this offer knowing that it's a huge "f- you" to the Sox community is disgusting. I couldn't bring myself to hate him. But now that I know he's trash, all bets are off. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Buehrle jersey. He and Ozzie need to return their rings and stay off the south side. Forget the traitors, go Sox!!!

Forgot about the Black Sox. Obviously we weren't alive then, but a scandal like that would be pretty disappointing.

Got bored watching the game today, so I figured I'd go through and calculate exactly how much money we're wasting this season. If the season ended with the standings as they are now, this is a breakdown of how much each team payed per win. I realize that they haven't paid out the the entire year yet, but if you do extra math to factor in the fraction of the year played and run it that way, you'll still get the same order. Math works that way and if you don't believe me, try it. At least we're getting a slightly better deal than the Yankees... Royals $2,257,900.0 Indians $2,459,443.4 Rays $2,620,760.7 Marlins $3,163,555.6 Pirates $3,289,071.4 Padres $3,822,428.3 D-Backs $4,126,141.0 Nationals $4,245,461.9 Athletics $4,435,766.7 Blue Jays $4,809,061.5 Reds $5,078,757.7 Rockies $5,176,357.1 Rangers $5,768,704.1 Astros $5,891,166.7 Mariners $6,173,185.7 Cardinals $6,201,974.8 Braves $6,214,513.7 Orioles $6,561,849.1 Brewers $6,576,717.9 Dodgers $6,919,266.0 Tigers $8,131,171.7 Giants $8,444,023.8 Phillies $9,098,756.9 Cubs $9,652,358.8 Mets $10,012,275.8 Angels $10,692,194.2 Twins $11,273,700.0 Red Sox $11,529,105.4 White Sox $11,753,230.8 Yankees $11,864,060.6

I've been against Ozzie for a few years. He certainly knows baseball, but it's pretty clear that he can't get people to play for him. It's not a fluke, I think that he completely mishandled Slring Training the past few years. All we ever heard was, "We're not doing so well now, but things will come around when the season starts." Well, the season started and our adrenaline got us through the first few games, but then the players have shown that they're comletely unprepared and overmatched. When watching games, it's pretty evident that our team just isn't as good as the opponents. The Tampa series was the worst display of baseball that I've seen in a long time. Firing Ozzie probably won't result in a winning season, but he needs to go regardless. Having said all that, if I owned the Sox, I'd drop Dunn, Teahen, maybe Pierre, maybe AJ, and a few pitchers. I just can't imagine that there will be the ticket sales to support "All In" and the team can't afford to have a bad year.

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. The two worst things in sports are cheaters and quitters. Manny's been verified as both. I can't believe KW is bringing that garbage to the South Side. Since I live in Colorado and can't do it myself, I'm paying for one of my friends to go to a game just to boo Manny for me

For a 4th/5th starter, Freddy's doing pretty well. There haven't been all that many games that he's given us absolutely no chance of winning. I think it's a mental thing right now, he'll be back at it in a week.

I'd argue that Pierzynski has some baseball smart....... But that's probably just me

At least we won't have to go to the metrodome and get embarrassed anymore....

Time for a triple play?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 01:34 PM) What will Q have more of come seasons end..... HR or HBP? HBP. Definitely. At this rate, he'll have 322. Beckham's got a fire in his eyes this year

2 HBP in one game.... wish my Fantasy league gave points for walks. And for web gems. (I've got Buehrle and Quentin)

It's a snaking one. I'm just looking for some atypical choices that might work out. Trying to get some ideas for when everyone else takes my ideal picks.

This may or may not be in the right place, and it might not pertain specifically to the Sox, but what would all of your recommendations be for my fantasy draft picks. Maybe submit your top 5 list? Obviously, Pujols is my ideal first pick, so don't include him. I'd take help with both pitchers and position players.
